Stupid of me not to mention this in the video but obviously, the closer we get in time to the last common ancestor of us and chimps, the more we will see specimens with a mixture of archaic and modern features. So it shouldn't surprise us that there is a lot of debate around early hominins. If we had the fossils of the last common ancestor, the first hominin and the first panin in front of us on a table, we probably couldn't identify which skeleton belonged to which family. They'd be too similar. Also, if the ancestors of us and chimps were interbreeding for millions of years then a clear cut off is never going to be identifiable. It may have just been a big orgy of ever so slightly different apes for thousands of generations. Big ape orgies make classifications hard. Thanks for watching, adios. Edit: ar.

PBS Eons started me down this anthropology path a few years ago and you've now slammed it home for me. The way you present the information through your videos makes it very easy to understand. I especially like how you, seemingly, don't hold back in your presentation of information. You span the entire distance with each subject, starting with the basics on your way to disseminating the latest conventional theory. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. You really are making a difference, if that matters to you.
mine was national geograhic. Back in the mid-90's they did an extended series of articles over a few years' worth of issues. Since then, I consume just about every story I can on the stuff. It's not just the topic, it's the the idea of seeing the scientific method unfolding in real time. Well worth following throughout my adult life.
@@StefanMilo ... Haaa ! it was a pretty funny transition ... one second I'm watching two chimps humping while looking to the camera ... next there's this hairy beast of a man-child-ape play acting like a kid at a karaoke ice cream party ! ;-)
If only we could find the earliest common ancestor that clipped mics to sticks, we’d know so much more about mic-utensil-hominid evolution! Keep digging people!
Sahelanthropus: A Miocene ape that could be our ancestor, maybe an ancestor of chimpanzees, maybe the last common of humans and chimps, or maybe just a cousin to the last common of humans and chimps.
People had/have such rigid ideas of what "the missing link" should look like that many transitional fossils are excluded & argued over. But mother nature (evolution) is a tinkerer not a designer, so many different combinations of physical traits were probably "test run." So you might get ape-like teeth with human-like feet for instance in a skull that's halfway inbetween. Bipedialism was important but it didn't have to come before everything else necessarily. An unintelligent, helpless, upright walker out on the savannah wouldn't have survived very long...
@boo boo full bipedalism was a gradual process that most likely started with just having more dexterous fore limbs to gather more food which also required a less specialized gut. Protein can be found in insects, grubs, worms & nuts which as you said allowed for a better brain. They've found fossils that indicate early hominids were still most likely semi arboreal even though technically bipedal. Cooking with fire came much later & so did the hunting that gave long distance running an advantage to hominids. I'm talking about very early hominids here which is what is being discussed in the video.
@@andrew348 intelligence doesn't have to equal human intelligence. The early hominids just had to be smarter than the apes they evolved from to learn to survive in a new environment. If they hadn't, homo erectus & homo habilis wouldn't have discovered fire & tool making that 2 million years later that led to the " big brains" of homo sapiens. I didnt think it was that controversial. I never said that Australapithcenes had human intelligence.
Having just found your channel, and watched all the recent videos, I am now working through the older stuff. It is striking that every moment in front of camera you are smiling - I love it. Fascinating stuff delivered with humour and a smile, what more could we possibly want. Thanks Stefan.

Great video! I wanted to let you know that i love your videos on the neolithic and mesolithic. Not a lot of people make videos on that period and it is an area i want more information on.
Definitely more videos on those periods on the way. I sort of paused them for a bit because I was going to go home to britain and film on site. Obvs covid had stopped that but I still want neolithic Britain to be filmed on location.

Evolution is like when you play a game of snooker. It starts out with a whole lot of balls on the table but as you progress thru the game there are fewer and fewer. That’s why it’s hard to work out what went on as there were so many all with slight variations to each other. Perhaps a different way of classifying the bones not just relying of comparisons, idk maybe they already do that.
I'd say evolution theory is ridiculous and doesn't explain the creation of life, because that's what it is, a creation. Adaptation is real sure, but life is clearly a creation.

Great vid. I think you should make a video like this for every single species of early hominid. They are the best videos on TH-cam in this niche 🖖
Eventually I will yeah
Also what is the difference if any between hominid and hominin? I’ve seen both used and just wandered if there’s a distinction
Agreed with history time you make the best videos on these topics.
@@HistoryTime Hominids are all great apes, while hominins are all great apes closer to us than gorillas and chimpanzees
Did they use plastic spoons as microphone holders too or is this just the pinnacle of evolution?

When aliens land in Sheboygan they will be using tnixvuart to attach uuidwoms to plastic spoons. It's just convergent evolution.
